WEEK 19 – Saturday, 11/24/18

Hi Y’all,

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you’re able to relax, rest, indulge in some great food and desserts and enjoy time with your loved ones.

#PARRRacing!!!

Congratulations to all the Bridge runners/walkers in La Porte, TX last Sunday. From looking at the photos, it looked like you all have a great time on a beautiful day on the bridge.

Also, congratulations to Paul Aleshire for his 2nd AG finish in the Shiner Half Marathon and Jessica Ohlemacher for her 3rd AG finish in the Shiner 5k.

Many of you and your family members will be participating in the PEARLAND TURKEY TROT on Thursday morning. Since PARR is a sponsor, we will have a tent and table available to us and you are free to use it as a base to drop off gear and hang out around the tent. Please check Facebook for the time of the PARR group picture, but I think we’ll try to do it at 7 a.m. before the kid’s 1k.

#PARRAngelTree

Every year, one of the coolest things PARR does is adopt families through the Pearland ISD’s Angel Tree program. More information coming next week about timing and how that works. Get ready to make someone’s Christmas a little brighter!
